Not a fan of the typical cold weather seen in BC throughout the winter months? We’ve got good news for you!
Canada’s winter forecast was released by The Weather Network on Wednesday and BC will have a very different season than last year.
“A classic El Niño winter pattern is expected across B.C. Above-normal temperatures are likely, as mild Pacific air will dominate the pattern,” says The Weather Network.
“While arctic air will be felt at times, we expect fewer and shorter Arctic outflow events into the Vancouver and Victoria area compared to what we usually see during a typical winter.”
So how much snow can we expect to see this year?
“Typically, with El Niño, the dominant storm track tends to stay south of the border in California. Therefore, we expect that most of the province will see below-normal precipitation, below-normal snowfall, and more sunshine than we typically see during the winter.”

There you have it. While this might be bad news for snowboarders and skiers, we can expect to see a lot of sunny days this winter.
